After the 2016 election you would like to be appointed to the new White House staff as “Special Foreign Policy Adviser to the President on the Syrian Crisis.” To be selected to this position, you have decided to write an essay explaining the best two or three options the U.S. can take on the Syrian Crisis from two different theoretical frameworks. *You will send your essay to the two 2016 presidential candidates who you believe will win their party’s nomination and compete in the 2016 general election.

Your essay must meet the following content requirements:

1. Each set of options must be presented from both the Realist and Liberal (influenced by Constructivism) theoretical perspectives;

2. The arguments supporting both Realist and Liberal options you present must be based on the concepts and theories you have learned this semester on the following topics:
? the theoretical frameworks;
? the history of the great powers from 1900 to the present;
? the global south and global north;
? foreign policy decision making;
